APPROVAL OF MINUTES

Peter Coalson seconded and the motion carried.
BULL PARK RENOVATION UPDATE
DeJean informed the Board that the modified budget figures for Bull Park have been
approved. DeJean and Tim Johnson met with David Thompson, acting City Manager
on August 9, 1999. ABBA Construction attended the August 9th meeting as well, and
a revised budget in the amount of$230,743.00 was agreed upon and presented at the
Budget Workshop on August 25, 1999. The Commission accepted the revised budget
figure for the Bull Park project.
DISCUSSION ON PARKLAND PROTECTION ORDINANCE
Several Board members questioned the restriction of parkland usage. A public hearing
on the issue was suggested by Ray Coleman. Steven cautioned the Board that too much
flexibility might allow broader development within the parklands owned by Atlantic
Beach. Peter Coalson suggested that perhaps the ordinance should define parkland use.
DeJean asked the Boad to focus on language that would address the selling and trading
of parkland rather than usage. Ray Coleman suggested to the Board that the language
in the Jacksonville ordinance should be maintained as a model for an ordinance for
Atlantic Beach. Peter motioned for acceptance of Parklands preservation policy 122.408,
a) and(b), striking Subpart B. Ray seconded and the motion carried.
BUDGET UPDATE
The following recommendations were made at the Budget Workshop attended by DeJean
and Tim Johnson on August 25, 1999.

Board members expressed concern over the impact of the Mayport Flyover on Section H,
as well as the absence of an active park in the area. Plans to develop a park west of Mayport
Road have the support of Section H residents. Board members expressed an interest in inviting
residents of Section H to speak and share their input for future development. Ray and Steven
0 encouraged the Board to consult other sources, including Karen Clark.
The Board was informed of the closing of the YMCA trailer, along with the status of
programs previously offered by the YMCA in Atlantic Beach. The YMCA trailer located
at Russell Park was condemned by Building Inspector, Don Ford. At this time, the YMCA
no longer operates in Atlantic Beach. h
